1 Safety information
1.1 Warnings, cautions and notes
1.2 Electrical safety - general warning
The voltages used in the drive can cause severe electrical shock and/or burns, and
could be lethal. Extreme care is necessary at all times when working with or adjacent to
the drive. Specific warnings are given at the relevant places in this User Guide.
1.3 System design and safety of personnel
The drive is intended as a component for professional incorporation into complete
equipment or a system. If installed incorrectly, the drive may present a safety hazard.
The drive uses high voltages and currents, carries a high level of stored electrical
energy, and is used to control equipment which can cause injury.
Close attention is required to the electrical installation and the system design to avoid
hazards, either in normal operation or in the event of equipment malfunction. System
design, installation, start up and maintenance must be carried out by personnel who
have the necessary training and experience. They must read this safety information and
this User Guide carefully.
The STOP and SAFE TORQUE OFF functions of the drive do not isolate dangerous
voltages from the output of the drive or from any external option unit. The supply must
be disconnected by an approved electrical isolation device before gaining access to the
electrical connections.
With the sole exception of the SAFE TORQUE OFF function, none of the drive
functions must be used to ensure safety of personnel, i.e. they must not be used
for safety-related functions.
The SAFE TORQUE OFF function may be used in a safety-related application. The
system designer is responsible for ensuring that the complete system is safe and
designed correctly according to the relevant safety standards.
1.4 Environmental limits
Instructions regarding transport, storage, installation and use of the drive must be
complied with, including the specified environmental limits. Drives must not be
subjected to excessive physical force.
For more information on these limits see the relevant drive user guide.
A Warning contains information, which is essential for avoiding a safety hazard.
